Figure A.5.2 reports data on the number of designs
(design count) contained in international registrations
for the top 20 designated Hague members. The trend
for design counts is similar to that for registrations, albeit
with higher volumes. For example, the EU’s designations
for design count is 10,178, compared to only 2,026 for
registrations. For the top 20 designated members, the
average number of designs per designation ranged from
5 for the EU to 3.2 for Montenegro and Oman.
Table A.5.3 presents a breakdown of the number of
designs contained in registrations for the top 10 origins
and designated Hague members. The EU received just
under two-thirds of its designations from only three
countries – Switzerland (28.4%), Germany (26.3%) and
France (10.1%). Designs contained in registrations from
Switzerland accounted for the largest share of all designations
in seven of these top 10 designated Hague members,
while Germany accounted for the largest share in
the remaining three members. Designations are skewed
towards two origins – Germany and Switzerland. These
two countries combined accounted for the bulk of all
designations in the reported Hague members – ranging
from 54% in Singapore to 71.9% in Liechtenstein.
